Acting head coach of the Azerbaijan national team Ayhan Abbasov, summing up the results of yesterday’s World Cup 2026 qualifying match with the French team (0:3), also touched on the upcoming match with the Ukrainian national team, which will take place next Monday in Krakow.
Ayhan Abbasov«The opponent’s skill level was very high. My players showed perseverance, and this is important. When there is desire and will, it will be easier in the future. We need to play with such teams to gain experience. Had we been a little more focused, the score would not have been so large. We will draw conclusions from these mistakes. I thank the players for their dedication.
In three days we will have an even more difficult match. We will prepare for the game against Ukraine. Physically, of course, it will be hard. We have a wide squad — we’ll see. We have a day or two, and we will try to recover. The remaining players are also ready to play. In the national team, you need to get used to performing in a short period. We’ll talk to the guys,» — said Abbasov after the match with France.
